Book Club: “The Evolution of Bruno Littlemore”

It’s Groundhog Day, Book Clubbers, and you know what that means: “The Evolution of Bruno Littlemore,” our February selection, has hit bookstores. “Bruno” casts a long shadow at five hundred and seventy-eight pages (though it’s so engrossing that you’ll be happy for the length), so the sooner you pick it up the better. We will begin a proper discussion of the book on Monday, with a post from Ian. In the meantime, an article that ran this month in New York magazine, about the tragic incident of the domesticated chimpanzee who defaced its owner’s friend (as in removed her face) may be of interest.

Happy Reading!
